101 in 1001 XXIX

Last month was pretty dire in terms of my goals, so it made more sense to combine these past two since I crossed off a lot in the past 4 weeks!

#1 Visit Pere Lachaise

Oh my goodness, I did it! I finally explored Pere Lachaise cemetery and it was everything I hoped for and more! (Technically I could also use this as #51- Visit 10 cemeteries but I'm challenging myself!)

#16 Visit Germany

After 14 years spent dreaming of visiting Germany and practising my language skills, I went to Berlin and... spoke to nobody. I panicked!

I'm not a big film-watcher so I'm pretty impressed with how well I'm doing here. My dad lent me his copy of 10 Rillington Place when I visited (guess where I get my morbidity from) and went I visited Laura and Matt towards the end of the month, we had a Pitch Perfect marathon. Can you call two films a marathon?

I know, I know. It's awful that I'd never seen Les Misérables before. I actually ended up staying all night to watch it twice in a row because I had no idea what was going on the first time.

#83 Watch all 100 Greatest Musicals (21/100)

Ooh 1/4 of the way through! The Producers was a lot funnier than I imagined but man, was Kiss Me, Kate dull!

I love the idea of the 1001 list. It motivates you to get out and do stuff! I remember the first time I visited Germany after studying the language for years. I was planning to talk to lots of people, but I froze as soon as I got there. Speaking to actual Germans is much more intimidating than speaking to a German professor!

Lots of travelling and sightseeing, I'm jealous! I really regret putting "watch x amount of films" on my 101 in 1001 as I forget to keep track, don't know how you do it! xEmilythebelljarxo.blogspot.co.uk
